How do you begin an article? How do you go from sitting in silence, waiting for inspiration or an idea to come and then just vomit out something people deem worth reading? Or better yet, how do you dive in feet first to writing a book? These are questions I've been asking myself for over an hour now. That and wondering how on Earth I ever came to the conclusion that I want to be an author.
I suppose every author has and will ask themselves this at some point. These are the questions that scream "self-doubt" and whats worse is they can keep us from becoming someone incredible. Maybe you aren't looking to be an author, and instead want to be a doctor, or the first person to discover that mermaids are real, or the world's hands-down best ice cream maker. No matter what you're striving towards or dreaming of, you have certainly experienced the booming, obnoxious voice of self-doubt. Call it what you will, it sucks!
Why am I reminding you of this horrible little voice you ask? Well, because someone needs to tell you this very important thing, you can kick that voices ass outta there and believe in yourself!!!!!!!
Read that last sentence again. And again. One more time. Notice that I didn't say you should or that you might be able to boot the little rat. I said you CAN. Barely anyone tells you to your face that you are capable of so much more than even you know. For some reason we have this inane idea that telling someone they are amazing or being genuine somehow means you're being cheesy. For Pete's sake people, BE CHEESY! Be slathered in cheddar, dripping in Gouda, and just go slime others with that wonderful Swiss cheese! Believe me, you are not the only one who could use a good cheesing.
Think about this with me for a second. When you were born, you had no idea how to walk, talk, write, read, and now look at you! You do all those things without giving any of them a second thought! Most days anyway. When you were a pre-teen you had no idea how you would ever survive going to a new school, and yet look at your badass now! You did it! All things at one point or another will always seem impossible at some juncture of your life. I'm here to show you something. Let's break up the word "impossible," right about two letters in "Im-Possible."
See what I did there?
As crazy and scary as things seem, even when someone else has already done them or even sometimes when you've done it before, it is always possible. You are so incredibly blessed! You are a superhero in your own right! Think about it. You have the spectacular power to make a person laugh or cry with just a few words or actions. You! As amazing as you see some people, remember that some people see you as amazing, and they are very right to do so. I'm writing all this because someone out there needs to see this and feel it. I'm writing this because I believe in you and your power. I'm writing this because I'm not afraid of being cheesy when I say that I don't even know you, but I love you. With the ending of this article I'll leave you with some reference material you can use to boost your awesomeness, and one last thing: Thank you for being you.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

better than 1 percent every day part 1 (self-development motivation)
If you can't fly then run If you can't run then walk . But no matter what you're doing you have to move forward. Always tell yourself You yourself may be less intelligent than others and have a starting point, but you have to put in 3 times more effort, 4 times more, or even 10 times more. I haven't found a better way than trying with perseverance. by perseverance and constant efforts to achieve goals when you have a lower starting point than others. Everyone has a dream, I believe you do too. Whether the dream is big or small, việc đạt được ước mơ là cả một quá trình. But not everyone makes efforts to achieve their dreams. After a few stumbles, you often lose faith in your dreams and intend to give up. But I don't think Giving up is the right decision on the path to achieving your dreams. One of the things that motivates us to achieve success is faith. Faith has strong hidden power to help us achieve our goals. Do you know that in ancient battles, before going into battle, what soldiers often did was not choose the sharpest weapons or the heaviest armor, the important thing they did was is to strengthen their belief. They always have faith that they will win. They will defeat all opponents. Because belief will lead to action. Weak belief will lead to superficial actions. niềm tin mạnh mẽ sẽ dẫn đến hành động quyết liệt hơn. A player who goes into battle without faith in victory will not be able to score goals. An excellent leader who does not have confidence in himself will not be able to lead an organization, so to realize your dream, you must build yourself a belief in what you are doing, of course. must be accompanied by action, not daydreaming. During your efforts, there will certainly be failures. You will look at the person next to you and feel yourself slowing down and despairing about yourself, but why do you don't think I need to put in more effort instead of spending time feeling guilty for me success is a process not a destination no matter what your goal is a house a super car A happy family or a successful business, getting there is sooner or later. What's more important is the process of trying to achieve it. It could be the days of waking up early, the days of working, coming home late, trying to convince customers, tiring physical exercises that later when you look back, you will never regret and always be grateful for the things that help you grow more and more when You are successful, you have your own story to tell. If everything comes too easily, then there is no such thing as a challenge. If it comes easily, then how can it be called fire? The hardest thing is to know who can last until the end because the champion horse is not the fastest horse. People don't care as much about you as you think. Stay focused. focus on what you do and try to be 1% better every day ignore the criticism of those around you and until you succeed people start to notice you At first they laugh at you But over time they will gradually support you and eventually they will admire you. Work in silence and the results will speak for you. Silently persevere in pursuing your goals, you don't need to announce them to the world. The world knows what you are doing because you are accomplishing it, all the results will speak for you. People who brag too early when they are only in the middle of the race often fail because they are subjective. These people often do not have What's scary? The people you should feel scary are those who silently persevere in their efforts every day and when they achieve results, everyone around them will feel surprised and admire the limits set to break through the world. Limits are created by your own thoughts, so what Hamad Gunny once said especially seems impossible until you accomplish it. Remember how many things you initially found difficult. But then when you do it, you feel really excited. When you can't run one kilometer, you feel like it's really too difficult, so when you run 3 kilometers, you see reaching 5 kilometers as a challenge. The possibility of one kilometer is no longer your only concern. When you can't wake up at 6 o'clock, you will find it tiring. Until you can make it a habit. laugh when someone tells you that the habit of waking up at 6 a.m. is difficult and just like that, as you break through the limits you set for yourself, you will gradually believe in yourself more and be motivated. Conquer the next goals in your efforts and you will encounter failures, but I understand this feeling and you know that failure is part of the game and the longer the road, the more arduous it becomes. Failure is a ladder to help you go further, put your foot on each step.
